I guess one issue you’ll run into then is that VS Code supports something very similar. Instead of editing locally and syncing, with VS Code, you can run VS Code “locally”, but it can connect to a remote server over SSH where you edit files directly on the remote server and it gives you terminal access to run your code there too. I’m not saying your idea isn’t viable, but there are multiple players moving in this direction. To me, the main thing you’ll have to convince me of is that this is better than editing code locally, but running the code in a local Docker container. For me, this solves the issue of “it runs on my machine”. From my perspective, your main value add is trying to make executing and testing code on a remote server frictionless (it’s not quite there, but pretty good so far). And that you can edit on a low-resource machine, but effectively “develop” on a more powerful remote system. But these might be a tough sell if you’re targeting the HN crowd (which I’m not sure you are).
